Lemonheads (Original Framed by the Artist) Photograph

Created in Galicia, Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic. During my confinement in Galicia I couldn't stop doing, making and creating, and although I knew that everything I was creating was ephemeral, the process of making it brought me so much joy and hope that I began experimenting with things I had around me. You can see the results in these two pieces: the “Time Lapse Series: Lemonheads COVID 19 Special Edition” with lemons and branches from my garden's lemon tree “passing by” and old door, and “The secret life of Lemonheads” a real imaginary building in which one could just imagine the secret life of this magical and unique community: the Lemonheads... I originally conceived this piece with the same process I use for my Time-Lapse Series, which is taking pictures and then combining them into the final piece to be printed in photographic paper as part of a Limited Edition. (Please note that this piece is also available as a Limited Edition Archival Pigment Ink Digital Print). But then, because of the ephemeral and organic story behind it, I began experimenting with other formats, like the one presented here, in which I printed the Lemonheads in Museum Quality Canvas, then I soaked it in water, then I let it dry. After that I decided to fringe the edges, and after thinking about how to frame it to showcase the details, I ended up buying the wood and the paint to create the kind of frame I had in my mind... The finished piece is an original Lemonheads with an original frame. All made from scratch....
